Szczecin is the largest city in northwestern Poland, located on the Oder river and close to the Szczecin Lagoon. It has a large seaport and a historic old town. Worth seeing are the medieval Chrobry Embankment along the river with a view of the harbour, the old town with its town hall, and numerous museums (such as the National Museum). Although not directly on the sea, a maritime atmosphere is felt here thanks to the river and the lagoon. The climate has continental influences but is cool in summer thanks to Baltic winds.
